Eight Ukrainian servicemen have been injured, none have been killed in the special operation zone in eastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours, presidential administration spokesman Oleksandr Motuzianyk said.

"We have lost not a single fighter, but eight have been injured in the hostilities in the past 24 hours. Three servicemen in Stanytsia Luhanska, one in Maryinka and four in Avdiyivka. In all cases these were injuries in militant attacks," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.

In the Luhansk area six attacks of the adversary have been recorded in Stanytsia Luhanska and Triokhizbenka, Motuzianyk said.

In the Donetsk area the situation has improved, 11 attacks have been recorded there in the past 24 hours, half of them with the use of mortars.
